In Alaska, travelling by plane is a great way to explore the unique wild places of the state. Since there are no roads into Bering Land Bridge, flying is a convenient way to access it. Whether in your own plane or on a chartered flight, you can fly over the preserve and land on the unmaintained gravel airstrip near Serpentine Hot Springs or on various beaches and lakes.

For more information on weather conditions, check out the weather stations in the preserve. Helicopters are not allowed to land within the preserve.
